Drugs
University has the potential to be the most fun 3 years of your life, why let drugs ruin this. Being a student is a fantastic eye opener but many of you will encounter possible moments where you will be offered or around people under the influence of drugs. This will be a stern test of your will power, so understanding what changes and effects you will experience on drugs is vital for you to understand why you are going to say NO!!
Everyone knows that “drugs are bad”, but why they are bad and why you are staying away are the facts that you need to know. The article below gives a thorough explanation of drugs with videos from first hand experiences.
